REVIEW

This trail was a lot of fun to ride down, but riding up it is a grind. There are no real technical sections on the trail and would be an excellent introduction for a newbie to the sport. On one section there is a series of switchbacks that are quite easily negotiated. The top third of the trail is ungroomed, while the bottom two thirds is well groomed and maintained. The owner of the store next to the gate to Buntzen Lake told me that there is a committee in Anmore that is working towards the maintenance of all the trails in the area. Good on 'em.
